In June of 1994, Bristol Brewing Company settled comfortably in the lap of Pikes Peak and began

hand-brewing flavorful, one-of-a-kind ales for the people of Colorado. Our mission was to make beer

 that called to mind three things: quality, purity, and sanity.

That's why we make our ales using only natural ingredients. You will find us on draught and in bottles

 at fabulous bars and restaurants throughout the state as well as in six packs at your favorite liquor

 store. So, if you should get your hands on a Bristol beer, know that it was brewed fresh no more than

 a few hours from where you're sitting.

We take extra care to make our beers better because we like to drink them. We hope you will, too.
